Answer:

The remainder is -1

The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

In the algebraic division, there are 4 terms

  1. Dividend ⇒ the term before the division sign
  2. Divisor ⇒ the term after the division sign
  3. Quotient ⇒ the answer
  4. Remainder ⇒ appear when the dividend not divisible by the divisor (the divisor is not a factor of the dividend)

<u><em>The remainder theorem:</em></u>

  • If you divide a polynomial f(x) by (x - h), then the remainder is f(h).
  • You do not need to use the long division to find the remainder, just evaluate the polynomial when x = h to find the remainder.
  • If h(h) = 0, then (x - h) is a factor of f(x)

Let us use it to solve the question

∵ The dividend is x² - 2

∴ f(x) = x² - 2

∵ The divisor is x - 1

∴ (x - h) = (x - 1)

∴ h = 1

Let us find f(1)

∵ f(1) = (1)² - 2 = 1 - 2 = -1

∴ f(1) = -1

∴ The remainder is -1

∵ f(1) ≠ 0

∴ x - 1 is not a factor of x² - 2

∴ The binomial is not a factor of the polynomial

If m and n can be any integers such that n&lt;4 and 4m - 3n &lt; 20, which of following is the solution set for m?A m &lt;7.25B
soldier1979 [14.2K]

If we multiply the inequality n<4 by 3 we get the following:

(n

Now, on the next inequality we have the following:

\begin{gathered} 4m-3n

By transitive property, we have:

\begin{gathered} 3n

therefore, the solution set for m is m<8
